What do you get when you combine voltage controlled distortion and one of the most infamous bassdrums? Hexinverter took one of the most revered bassdrum synthesis designs of all time – the TR-808 and completely redesigned it for use in a modular analogue synthesizer.
Features:
- Analogue bassdrum circuitry capable of vanilla TR-808 sounds
- Built in voltage controlled distortion (batteryACID distortion)
- Distortion accepts external inputs when not being used with kick drum (great for acid synth leads)
- Voltage control of distortion amount
- Voltage control of decay from short kicks to long “ooooooooomphs”
- Voltage control of pitch (approximates v/oct response, but not musically tuned)
- Non-invasive analogue optocouplers used for voltage control, thus, completely vintage sounds can still be had if that’s what you’re after!
- Completely redesigned, hi-fi signal chain spares no expense by replacing cheap transistor amplifiers with low noise opamp equivalents
